  • Get to know Philly!

    If you haven’t listened to City Cast Philly I highly recommend especially as newer to Philly. Every week there are new podcasts that help you know what’s happening in the city from food and events to politics. The episode on the impacts of gun violence was particularly moving. Trenae (and Matt) do an excellent job engaging their guests and help their listeners know what’s happening in Philly!
